• Abstract summary: We study the potential for controlled transfer of population to the biexciton state of a semiconductor quantum dot coupled with a metal nanoparticles. In certain cases, when the distance between the two particles is small, the transfer of population is strongly modified because of the influence of surface plasmons to the excitons.

• Abstract: We study the potential for controlled transfer of population to the biexciton state of a semiconductor quantum dot coupled with a metal nanoparticle, under the influence of an electromagnetic pulse with hyperbolic secant shape, and derive analytical solutions of the density matrix equations, for both zero and nonzero biexciton energy shift. These solutions lead to efficient transfer to the biexciton state, for various interparticle distances, including relatively small values. In certain cases, when the distance between the two particles is small, the transfer of population is strongly modified because of the influence of surface plasmons to the excitons, and the effect is more pronounced for shorter pulses. The hybrid snanostructure that we study has been proposed for generating efficiently polarization-entangled photons, thus the successful biexciton state preparation considered here is expected to contribute in this line of research.

  We consider a nanostructure consisting of a semiconductor quantum dot coupled to a metal nanoparticle. We show with numerical simulations that the exciton state of the quantum dot can be robustly generated from the ground state even for small interparticle. The simplicity of the conventional chirped pulses, which can also be easily implemented in the laboratory, make the proposed robust quantum control scheme potentially useful for the implementation of ultrafast nanoswitches and quantum information processing tasks with semiconductor quantum dots.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.

We show that the dynamics beyond a few femtoseconds has to be cast in the language of hot electron distributions and excitons.
